ThinOptics Frontpage Brooklyn Reading Glasses - Lightweight Readers with Milano Aluminum Case for Men & Women | Perfect for Reading, Travel, and Everyday Use

These well-made glasses and case have eliminated the frustration of always having to resort to less than elegant ways to carry reading glasses with me. Typical glasses are too bulky for pockets and inevitably get scratched up from whatever else gets tossed in there. Using one of the temples to hang the glasses on a pocket or shirt collar might work short-term but I always forget they're there after a while and often end up taking them places I wish I didn't (like in a car with the shoulder belt pinching them against me). Taking them out of pockets or from hanging on a shirt also often enough involves the hinges getting tangled up in fabric threads. First world problems? Sure. But it would be good if, instead of having several pairs of reading glasses strategically placed where I'll need them to avoid the portability problem, I can own one pair and safely, conveniently carry them wherever, even backpacking. This pair is that one pair I need. Plus, the optical quality is quite good, no distortion near the periphery, and they don't seem to get scratched. The case fits them like a glove and I hardly notice it's there in my pocket, it's so thin. Probably bombproof, but I haven't run that test yet. The pin for the hinge is a little loose and can start slipping out, but that hasn't created a real problem yet. Last thing, they rest very light on the nose, so no marks means they get the highest marks.
